So today the folks behind Electroneum announced their mobile miner for Android. However this is not the mining you are probably expecting. Unlike other Android mining apps that eat away at your battery and run CPU constantly at over 90% and make your device feel like a hot piece of coal - Eltroneum miner is different.
The guys at Electroneum realise that mobile devices are not really capable of properly mining crypto and even if they are it will severely affect the lifetime of your device if running mining constantly.
How it works
The Electroneum mining app works by calculating what hashrate your device would be capable of mining at and then the app virtually mines at that rate. Basically you leave the app open and every X minutes or X hours awards the amount of ETN that you would have earned if you really were mining. This app consumes hardly any resources due to the fact that it's not really doing anything.
Can I make bang with it?
Whilst you aren't going to become the next Warren Buffett with this app you are more than capable of making a few dollars a month just by letting this app run in the background and who knows if the price of ETN goes really high one day that small amount of ETN could suddenly be worth a lot.
From the horses mouth
The mobile miner is completely revolutionary way to earn cryptocurrency by "mining" on your phone. In fact your phone isn't really doing the hard work of mining the coins, that's already done - this is a mining experience. "What's that?!", I hear you say, well, our mining experience looks like a miner, feels like a miner and pays out real Electroneum cryptocurrency, just like a complex command line miner running on a linux computer - BUT all you need to do is click the "START MINING" button on a free app to earn cryptocurrency! These coins are nothing to do with the coins emitted by the blockchain as part of the blockchain reward. Blockchain miners are still vitally important to Electroneum, but full mining is too complex for the average user. The mobile miner is a separate algorithm that rewards users with ETN cryptocurrency at no cost." _
Apple iPhone Launch
We've reduced the number app call backs to our servers to just once per hour to comply with Apple's limits, and this means if you were one of our beta miners you won't see the pending balance update as often as it did during beta. Leave it running - and you're mining time will be credited! We have the iPhone iOS version written and fully functional but it has not been approved by Apple yet. The more Android users we can get, the more we can show Apple that there is demand for this app.
Important note
This app does use some data connectivity so it's advisable to run this on wifi to begin with to get an idea of how much data the app is using per day so you can see if you could let it run on your data plan or only on wifi.
